The Hobbit - Giant Gollum Statue At Wellington Airport, New Zealand

If you are going to or already in New Zealand, do pay a visit to Gollum (the key character/creature from The Lord Of The Rings and upcoming prequel, The Hobbit - An Unexpected Journey). Recently, a giant Gollum statue has been installed in the Wellington Airport, New Zealand (by WETA).

It looks so freaking real and cool!

Not too sure how long it will stay there but I believed it will be there until the release of the movie in Dec 2012. Thus, if you are a fan of Middle Earth franchise, go experience yourself at the airport and snap, snap, snap (photo)!

Now, enjoy the photos (via GeekTyrant) and a video clip on the hard work by the workers during their installation:

Are you getting excited to watch The Hobbit? Would you be watching it in IMAX? Feel free to share your view in the comment section.

Cheers!
